Ion Voicu (Romanian: [iˈon ˈvojku]; October 8, 1923 – February 24, 1997) was a Romanian violinist and orchestral conductor of Romani ethnicity. In 1969 he founded the award-winning Bucharest Chamber Orchestra, which is now conducted by his son Mădălin Voicu.
Voicu was born in Bucharest, into a family of professional musicians. At age 6, he had his first music lessons with Constantin Niculescu. At age 14, he entered the Royal Academy of Music in Bucharest, where he studied with George Enocovici. After graduating in 1940, he became violinist with the National Radio Orchestra of Romania, where he was noticed by the conductor, Willem Mengelberg; Voicu made his debut as a soloist with the orchestra soon after. In 1946, he won the first prize at a musical competition organized in Bucharest by George Enescu and Yehudi Menuhin.
In 1949, Voicu first appeared as a soloist with the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra under George Georgescu, and he achieved great acclaim as a participant in their 1957 tour of Belgrade; from 1972 to 1982, he was the director of the Philharmonic.
last night woke in bed
in a cold cold sweat so sweaty so funky
dreamin' of bad things to be or not to be
haunting things like homelessness all the lonely people
without a job car or food to eat
leaves you a little bit paranoid well well
can you spare a dime
but it reminds me how easily
we let our fears affect who we are
no no no can't come back
no bad feelings no no no
no sad feelings no no no
no jealous feelings no no no
no insecure feelings
no no no can't come back
no ill feelings no no no
no jealous feelings no no no
no ego trippin' no no no
no insecure feelings
no no no can't come back
had a friend in desperate need
of a little attention compassion you see
did i mention that friend was me nope
who'd just broken up from a love affair well well well well
i must admit i was truly hurt
and i couldn't change the facts and that's a fact
he loves her more than he loves me
and it's truly just as simple as that
no no no can't come back
no bad feelings no no no
no sad feelings no no no
no jealous feelings no no no
no insecure feelings
no no no can't come back
no ill feelings no no no
no jealous feelings no no no
no ego trippin' no no no
no insecure feelings
no no no can't come back
don't care what other people say
don't listen to them anyway
can't let the evil get it's way
don't let bad feelings make you pay
don't care what other people say
don't listen to them anyway
can't let the evil get it's way
don't let bad feelings make you pay
no bad feelings no no no
no sad feelings no no no
no jealous feelings no no no
no insecure feelings
no no no can't come back
no ill feelings no no no
no jealous feelings no no no
